What happens if someone goes mad during meditation?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Meditation does not create madness; it liberates the suppressed madness within, allowing for a conscious catharsis that brings lightness to the mind."
According to Osho, no one goes mad through this meditation; it expels already-suppressed madness. What may look like craziness (shouting, dancing) is conscious, voluntary catharsis under full control—you can stop anytime. Madness means loss of control and involuntary eruption. Properly done, this method lightens the mind, prevents breakdowns, and can even free the already-mad by releasing repression.
This meditation is like taking out the trash from your head on purpose, so you feel lighter—not crazier.
